Former Ex on the Beach contestant James Moore has been charged with possessing indecent images of a child as well as extreme animal porn.

The reality TV star, 29, featured on the MTV show's fourth series in 2016.

He is scheduled to appear at Preston Crown Court, Lancashire on 22 January.

According to The Sun, Moore was found in possession of 83 pictures of a child as well as porn depicting humans alongside pigs, dogs and fish.

Moore, who is from Blackpool, has also been charged with distributing a private image.

Moore was granted bail after appearing at Blackpool Magistrates' Court on 24 November.

His lawyer, David Charnley, stated: "He believed the girl involved was over 18 years old."

The show follows single contestants as they head to an island before their ex arrives.
